A song for the summer: the pepper “by Edoardo Vianello

The pepper (1963) – The seaside genre that Edoardo Vianello has inaugurated becomes in his hands and in those of the co -author Rossi a real format, with a series of similar, but unmistakable pieces, which make us feel on the shore at the August sea after a few bars. Beach photography is the one that is best that to the Roman singer, who finds manual solutions (“You are like a sheet of glass paper, with all the skinned skin”, declines in another song, “sandpaper”), a bottomless well of inventiveness that in just three to four years of production will guarantee him an entire career.

“Since you since you take the sun / you are red peeled you are like a pepper. / Wet from the water from the water of salt / kissed by the wind that comes from the sea / as soon as you hold you scream you cry / my pale love. / With all the creams the skin the skin / but day by day you fill yourself with bubbles / your legs your arms your nose your shoulders / you let you burn.”

Bonus track: “Vedita card” (1966)

This news is, for a kind concession of the author and the publisher, by “linked to a grain of sand”, written by Enzo Gentile and published by Melampo Editore.
